It actually dont have to be that complicated. I have been running CF under debian since its first release on the linux plattform. Currently we have 6 computers running debian and CF4 and 5.
Since CF and RedHat (dont ask me why) uses an old libstdc library that Debian no longer ships with by default you just have to install the old library. This means that you will be running multiple versions of the libstdc library. The installation will then work without generating any errors. After that you just have to manually put the right module in httpd.conf and create startupscripts in the rcX.d directories. About 3 steps that take maybe 5-15 minutes depending on your internet access. =) ---------------------------------------------- Original Message From: "Jesse Noller"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Debian hath been defeated Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 18:15:15 -0400 >In a day long struggle, I got CF running on the debian machine. below, is my >'diary of the process': > > >Here are my steps, as always, this is unsupported, YMMV, and AFAIK all >apply. > >Step 1: Install 2.2 (potato) > >Step 2: Realize everything is outdated > >Step 3: do an apt-get dist-upgrade, forcing all packages to be installed >from 'testing' instead of stable (see /etc/apt/sources.list - change all >points saying stable to testing) > >Step 4: Ignore all the errors. > >Step 5: Reboot. > >Step 6: reinstall 'vi' as it was broke > >Step 7: Realize, vi is terminally broke.
